Spend $500,000 to help ships reduce emissions at Richmond Port

Environmental JusticeEnvironment

In Plain English

California requires ships to cut emissions by 80% starting January 1, 2025. The Port of Richmond lacks the equipment to meet this requirement. If approved, the city pays $500,000 to help deploy a barge that filters ship exhaust, avoiding $2.5 million in annual penalty fees.
